Description
The new Vintage Select Edition Tennessee Rose model G6119T-62 from the Gretsch Professional Collection. Built to the specs the original 1962 Tennessean model, the G6119T-62 is by far the most authentic vintage spec "Tenny" ever offered by Gretsch!
They've added aged body binding and a darker cherry finish. The guitar features the HiLo'Tron pickups, rocking bar bridge, and simulated F-Holes which are all 1962 period correct appointments designed in part by Chet Atkins himself. The body of a Tennessee Rose is a little smaller and thinner then the 6120 and Gent models making it a great choice for someone who does not favor a large hollow body design. The guitar is all Pro-series Gretsch with perfect playability and neck angle and classic warm tones. The new TV Jones HiLo'Tron's are fantastic recreations of the original Gretsch designs offering a very authentic sound and look. They have a relatively low output which yields a warm woody tone from the guitar drawing out the resonance of the arched maple top. The TV Jones Hilo'Tron's have a dry snappy tone with improved clarity and note definition. The neck pickup is deep and warm with a bit of twang and the bridge pickup is crisp and punchy. When blended together they are wired to cancel out 60 cycle hum like a Humbucking pickup and it's very effective. We are a long standing fully authorized independent Gretsch guitar dealer. This is a brand new factory first guitar and comes with the deluxe Gretsch hard case, all documentation and the Gretsch Limited lifetime warranty. If you have any questions at all please feel free to give us a call!
